My Nonprofit Reviews

My counterpart and I completed a Grassroot Soccer training in South Africa in February 2014 during my Peace Corps service. I had never been exposed to GRS before that training, and I found it to be such an interactive, comprehensive way to teach children about HIV. After returning to the school I worked at, I conducted two Grassroot Soccer interventions to provide HIV-prevention education for approximately 50 students. My students improved their knowledge from pre-test to post-test by more than 70%, and they had a great time doing it. It also helped to slightly de-stigmatize HIV within the school.
